Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy-saving building technology, and in particular to a passive house based on energy storage Trombe wall and vertical sleeve heat exchange system. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of global climate change and the energy crisis, building energy conservation has become a crucial issue for achieving sustainable development. Passive buildings, as an important direction in building energy conservation, have significant energy-saving potential by optimizing building envelope design, fully utilizing natural energy sources, and minimizing reliance on active energy systems. However, passive building technology still faces many challenges in practical applications. Existing energy-efficient building technologies, such as passive house systems, often suffer from problems like mismatches between energy supply and demand in time and space, and low efficiency in multi-system coordination. Traditional soil-air heat exchange systems are affected by burial depth and soil temperature and humidity, resulting in insufficient heat exchange efficiency and condensation in winter, while cooling effectiveness diminishes in summer due to rising soil temperatures. Trombe wall structures typically rely on a single cavity for heat exchange, making it difficult to meet the heating needs of deep buildings in winter and ineffective in guiding natural ventilation in summer. Phase change energy storage materials, when applied solely to walls, often suffer from a mismatch between phase change temperature and indoor heat demand, leading to delayed heat storage and release, insufficient matching between phase change temperature and indoor thermal environment requirements, and weak thermal conductivity, making it difficult to achieve bidirectional thermal disturbance suppression. In addition, existing systems mostly operate independently and lack complementary designs of active and passive technologies, making it difficult to achieve high energy efficiency throughout the year in different climate zones. There is an urgent need to improve the overall energy efficiency of passive houses through system integration and material optimization. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Example 1

[0023] This invention provides a passive house based on energy storage Trombe walls and a vertical shell-and-tube heat exchange system, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown, the structure includes a vertical buried pipe heat exchange system, a Trombe wall cavity 8, a phase change energy storage wall, a building body 4, and a curtain wall assembly. The vertical buried pipe heat exchange system is located at the bottom of the exterior of the building body 4. The Trombe wall cavity 8, the phase change energy storage wall, the building body 4, and the curtain wall assembly can all be divided into a sun-facing side A, a shaded side C, and a top side B, depending on their orientation. The phase change energy storage wall is divided into an inner phase change energy storage wall 5 and an outer phase change energy storage wall 9. The inner phase change energy storage wall 5 is installed inside the building body 4, and the outer phase change energy storage wall 9 is installed on the sun-facing side A and the top side B of the building body 4.

[0024] The phase change energy storage interior wall 5, from the inside out, consists of an interior finish layer, a thermally conductive layer, an interior phase change material layer, and a back insulation layer. The interior phase change material layer uses a paraffin-expanded graphite composite material with a phase change temperature of 20±1℃. The phase change energy storage exterior wall 9, from the outside in, includes an outer protective layer, an insulation layer, an exterior phase change material layer, a thermally conductive reinforcement component, and a back protective layer. The exterior phase change material layer uses a paraffin-graphite composite material with a phase change temperature of 22±1℃ and is equipped with aluminum fins to enhance thermal conductivity. The phase change energy storage interior wall 5 absorbs and releases heat disturbances caused by indoor activities and household appliances, effectively maintaining a stable indoor air environment. The phase change energy storage interior wall 5 adopts a modular assembly structure, which not only reduces indoor temperature fluctuations but also allows for intermittent operation in conjunction with a vertical buried pipe heat exchange system, thereby improving the overall system operating efficiency. Phase change energy storage exterior wall 9 is used to cope with heat transfer disturbances caused by changes in outdoor temperature. It can reduce the heat transfer of the wall, reduce the building's heat load, and achieve a two-way reduction of the influence of indoor and outdoor temperatures.

[0025] A curtain wall assembly is installed on the outer side of the phase change energy storage exterior wall 9. A gap exists between the outer side of the phase change energy storage exterior wall 9 and the curtain wall assembly; this gap is the Trombe wall cavity 8. The outer side of the phase change energy storage exterior wall 9 is coated with a heat-absorbing coating 18. In summer, the Trombe wall cavity 8 generates a draft effect by heating the air, providing natural drive for the vertical buried pipe heat exchange system and enhancing ventilation and cooling. In winter, the Trombe wall cavity can reheat the air processed by the vertical buried pipe heat exchange system to meet indoor air supply requirements.

[0026] The vertical buried pipe heat exchange system is a shell-and-tube structure, divided into a horizontal section and a vertical section. The vertical section is buried underground, while the horizontal section is located above ground. The system includes an inner heat exchange tube 16 and an outer heat exchange tube 14. The inner heat exchange tube 16 is located inside the outer heat exchange tube 14. An inner tube insulation layer 15 is installed on the outside of the upper sections of both the horizontal and vertical sections of the inner heat exchange tube 16. Air filters 13 are installed at the inlets of the horizontal sections of both the inner and outer heat exchange tubes 16 and 14. In this embodiment, both the inner and outer heat exchange tubes 16 are made of stainless steel with a thickness of 2mm. The inner heat exchange tube 16 has a diameter of 250mm, and the outer heat exchange tube 14 has a diameter of 500mm. The inner heat exchange tube 16 is wrapped with an inner tube insulation layer 15 in the horizontal section and 3m below ground level to ensure that the treated air is not reheated or cooled. A condensate pump 17 is installed at the bottom of the vertical section of the heat exchanger tube 14 to discharge the condensate generated during operation, so as to avoid affecting the system's heat exchange efficiency and air quality.

[0027] A fan 12 is installed at the inlet of the horizontal section of the heat exchange inner tube 16. The fan 12 supplies air to the Trombe wall cavity 8 through the air inlet 10 at the bottom of the sun side A. The fan 12 also supplies air to the interior of the building body 4 through the building near-system side air outlet 11 located at the bottom of the sun side A. The air inlet 10 is located at the beginning of the Trombe wall cavity 8. The heat exchange outer tube 14 guides the air downwards, while the heat exchange inner tube 16 guides the air to flow back upwards. An annular air channel is formed between the heat exchange inner tube 16 and the heat exchange outer tube 14. After heat exchange underground, the air is transported to the roof by the heat exchange inner tube 16. A building roof air outlet 1 is installed at the top of the building body 4, and a building far-system side air outlet 19 is installed at the bottom of the shaded side C of the building body 4. The building near-system side air outlet 11 and the building far-system side air outlet 19 are symmetrically arranged. A cavity air outlet 3 is located at the top of the building body 4, at the end of the Trombe wall cavity 8. The fan 12, cavity air inlet 10, building near-system side air outlet 11, Trombe wall cavity 8, building roof air outlet 1, and cavity air outlet 3 form a closed-loop airflow path. The Trombe wall cavity 8 is used as an air extraction channel in summer and in winter to further increase the intake air temperature and provide an indoor heat source.

[0028] The curtain wall assembly includes a double-layer vacuum glass curtain wall 6 and a heat-absorbing and waterproof fabric 7 installed on the outside of the double-layer vacuum glass curtain wall 6. The heat-absorbing and waterproof fabric 7 automatically adjusts its height according to the rainy season to protect the double-layer vacuum glass curtain wall 6. Its height is controlled by a remote control device 2, which is located at the junction of the top surface B of the heat-absorbing and waterproof fabric 7 and the shaded side C of the building body 4. In this embodiment, the thickness of the double-layer vacuum glass curtain wall 6 is 400-500 mm.

[0029] The passive house based on energy storage Trombe walls and a vertical shell-and-tube heat exchange system described in this embodiment operates as follows throughout the year: Figure 3 As shown:

[0030] Summer: Cavity air inlet 10 is closed, cavity air outlet 3 is open; building near-system side air outlet 11 is open, building far-system side air outlet 19 is closed, and building roof air outlet 1 is open. The temperature of Trombe wall cavity 8 increases due to solar radiation, causing the air pressure on the building roof to decrease, forming an air driving force from the interior to the roof. The decrease in indoor air pressure further promotes airflow in the vertical section of the vertical buried pipe heat exchange system. Outdoor hot air decreases in temperature through heat exchange with the soil and is sent into the interior through building near-system side air outlet 11 to provide cooling. Subsequently, the air is discharged outdoors through building roof air outlet 1 and cavity air outlet 3.

[0031] Winter: Cavity air inlet 10 is open, cavity air outlet 3 is closed; building near-system side air outlet 11 is closed, building far-system side air outlet 19 is open, and building roof air outlet 1 is open. Fan 12 is turned on. Outdoor cold air is first preheated through the vertical section of the vertical buried pipe heat exchange system. The preheated air enters the Trombe wall cavity 8 through cavity air inlet 10 for reheating. The reheated air is then sent into the room through building roof air outlet 1 to meet indoor thermal comfort requirements. After heat exchange in the room, the air is exhausted outdoors through building far-system side air outlet 19.

[0032] Therefore, this utility model adopts the above-mentioned passive house with a Trombe wall based on energy storage and a vertical sleeve heat exchange system. The vertical buried tube heat exchange system with sleeve structure utilizes the constant temperature characteristics of the underground, combined with the heat exchange inner tube insulation and condensate drainage design, to improve the heat exchange efficiency in winter and summer, effectively utilize geothermal energy, and reduce energy loss. The Trombe wall cavity is combined with the phase change energy storage outer wall, which enhances natural ventilation in summer through the wind-pulling effect and provides secondary heating air supply in winter, forming a seasonally adaptive thermal management. The phase change energy storage inner wall and outer wall are made of composite materials with phase change temperatures of 20±1℃ and 22±1℃ respectively, which reduce indoor and outdoor temperature disturbances in both directions and maintain the stability of the indoor environment. The combination of double-layer vacuum glass curtain wall and liftable heat-absorbing waterproof cloth enhances the thermal insulation performance and can cope with rainy season protection, improving the system's durability. The modular assembly structure and air closed-loop path design realize the seasonal use of the system and efficient heat exchange.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
